Feed the whole people, I just lie down and win

Chapter 125 The advent of warlords?Grant steals the country!

"Our family plans to purchase [-] tons of pig iron from Chang'an at one time. At the same time, we will purchase [-] pieces of various weapons and [-] pieces of various armors." Daisy was really very aggressive.

"no problem!"

Tang Jing also readily responded, "Pig iron can be delivered today. As for weapons and armor, it depends on the production progress of the Ordnance Bureau, and they can be delivered in installments."

His idea was——

Chang'an is about to fight with the millions of coalition forces. Once they win, they will surely capture a large number of weapons and armor.

It can be sold to the mermaids completely.

"it is good!"

Daisy didn't expect to say that she could get weapons and armor now.

It is a trick in itself.

In the long run, the mermaids still plan to purchase pig iron and bring it back to forge by themselves.

"The question now is, how do you transport the two hundred tons of pig iron back to the Mermaid Clan?" Tang Jing asked.

Three hundred tons of pig iron, 60 catties, taking into account the gaps, stacked together, is about five or six hundred cubic meters. If it is pulled by a train in reality, it can be done with only six carriages.

But in the wilderness, it is very difficult to transport from land to sea.

It's not good to use a boat.

Even for a large ship like a warship, because it was not tailor-made for cargo transportation, its displacement is actually only about [-] tons, and its deadweight is only [-] tons.

Excluding necessary supplies such as crew and fresh water, the actual load capacity is even lower.

Therefore, even if the existing four warships were dispatched together, with only the crew and no elite bow battalion, it would be impossible to transport [-] tons of iron ore away in one trip.

Even if it was feasible, Tang Jing would not agree.

Although the Caspian Sea is not big, only more than 600 square kilometers, the base camp of the Mermaid Clan is on the east side of the Caspian Sea, one east and one west from Chang'an, with a distance of more than [-] kilometers in between.

The fleet made a special trip.

It takes almost a month to go back and forth at an average speed of two to four knots on a sailing warship.

And safe and sound at sea.

By the time this trip is over, the daylilies in the Chang'an campaign will be cold.

"Hey, I brought three storage rings this time, which should be enough to bring the pig iron back." Daisy replied.

"..."

Ok!

The arrogance of the mermaid clan exceeded Tang Jing's previous expectations.

The two parties agreed that the price of 15 tons of pig iron would be 15 gold coins, and the payment should be paid in one lump sum on the spot.For the ordered weapons and armor, a deposit of [-] gold coins is required.

It was equivalent to Tang Jing earning 30 gold coins in one go.

Although not much.

But it finally eased the embarrassing situation of the funds being exhausted after Chang'an's large-scale soldiers were transferred.

have to say.

The cost of maintaining a large army is too high, and the cost of job transfer alone drains Chang'an dry.

It's almost unbearable.

.........

Pelican County, Coalition Provisional Command.

Learning the lesson of Lark Town, even after retreating to Pelican County, the coalition headquarters is still cunning, with millions of troops scattered in more than [-] territories.

The headquarters also changed locations frequently.

Grant also obviously paid more attention to Chang'an's intelligence collection work than his predecessor Rutgers.

A full set of five special teams.

Chang'an's every move is monitored almost around the clock.

"As we judged before, after conquering Macon County, the northern Gulf County and the southeast corner of Choctaw County, and creating a security arc centered on Chang'an City, Chang'an quickly withdrew its troops."

Staff Mike is still doing information sharing.

"Not only that, the three counties of Denton that were conquered by Chang'an before, and the subsequent Monroe County, Chang'an put on a long-term operation posture before, and now they are quietly withdrawing."

"The land of the four counties is basically a no-man's land."

"All the forces in Chang'an have been shrunk into the city of Chang'an. It is clear that they want to rely on the strength of the fortified city to launch a big offensive and defensive duel with our army."

"As expected."

Grant looked indifferent, and said with a smile: "This is the strong sense of oppression brought by the million-dollar coalition."

Between the words, there is no lack of pride.

In Grant's view, to deal with an enemy like Chang'an, small fights won't make a difference. What is needed is to have an upright confrontation with Chang'an with an absolute superiority in force.

boil.

Chang'an must also be boiled to death.

"How are the departments getting ready?" Grant asked.

"The top-down reorganization has almost been completed, and generals at all levels of battalion, brigade, division, and army have also been in place. Food and grass materials have also been raised, including labor for food transportation, mainly recruited from Pelican County."

"Have all the general's allowances been paid out?" Grant asked.

Because of the previous unpleasant experience, this time the million-dollar coalition army recruited foreign generals to the folding city. From the very beginning, it didn't go very smoothly.

otherwise.

Like Mike, he will not be forced to enter the palace for the second time.

In order to recruit enough player generals in the fastest time, Grant came up with a trick——

send money!

As long as they are recruited players and generals, Yingzheng will give a one-time allowance of fifty gold coins.

Two hundred gold coins for the brigade commander;

Commander [-] gold coins;
Five thousand gold coins for the command of the legion;

Combat staff officers and adjutants at all levels are also given allowances according to their ranks.

If the player dies during the battle, the player will also receive a pension equivalent to three times the allowance.

Regardless of the tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of gold coins spent in Chang'an, when it comes to individuals, even if it is only fifty gold coins, the purchasing power is very strong.

It is enough for a family to buy a house and open a store in any territory in the alliance.

Owning one thousand gold coins is even more wealthy.

Under the reward, there must be a brave man!
Once the subsidy system was announced to the public, the number of recruited players and generals increased significantly.

Fills up quickly.

For player generals, responding to the call will not only get a stipend, but also add a sum to their resume.

It is also a kind of capital.

If you join the territory in the future, you will definitely have an advantage over those who have no experience in cold weapon warfare.

It is tantamount to using the coalition forces to gain personal experience.

Why not?
Even if he died in battle, if he wasted a chance to be resurrected, the pension would be even more substantial.

Worth a shot!
What's more, in the eyes of most Aztecs, this battle is basically a sure thing.

The chances of dying are slim.

"It's still short of the last [-] gold coins in the account, and all of them will be distributed." Mike replied.

"Why so slow?"

Grant was a little dissatisfied, "Notify the lords that if the allowance is not in place, this battle will not be fought. We can't sweat and bleed on the front line, and there is no guarantee at all, right?"

"Coordination is already being stepped up, and the account should arrive within two days."

Mike was helpless.

The subsidy system proposed by Grant was of course very popular among generals, but it made all the lords of the alliance scold their mothers.

For this matter, there have been several quarrels within the alliance.

Because it's not a small fortune.

Not to mention the follow-up pension, the allowance alone is as high as 70 gold coins.

That's enough to transfer 70 Tier [-] fighters.

Including pensions, divided evenly, each territory needs to contribute at least two gold coins.Although it's not much, but as a village-level territory, it needs to pay people and food, and now it needs to pay money.

It's no wonder the lord doesn't scold his mother!

But there is no way, the matter has developed to this point, and the lord does not have to submit.

You can't give up halfway, can you?
"In addition to allowances, the horses, equipment, and personal guards promised to the generals must also be in place. It cannot be said that the horses are allowed to run and not let the horses graze." Grant continued to warn.

The attention paid to this matter is even higher than the attention paid to Chang'an.

In order to attract player generals to join the coalition, Grant spent a lot of money this time. In addition to allowances, he also promised to purchase a high-quality war horse and a complete set of cavalry equipment for each player general.

No matter what generals you say, you have to look like a general.

Each brigade commander is also assigned ten personal guards, each division commander is assigned a full-staffed personal guard, and each legion commander is assigned a full-staffed personal guard battalion.

Grant himself even formed a personal guard brigade of 3000 people.

Every personal guard is carefully selected and well equipped, either sword and shield soldiers, elite spearmen or elite archers, or simply light cavalry.

The tens of thousands of cavalry that the alliance managed to get together were all divided up by these generals on the spot.

The black one!
The advantage is that under the heavy reward, all the generals of the players are screaming.

"Already stepping up configuration."

When Mike answered, he took a deep look at Grant, as if he wanted to see something from it.

Intuition.

It seems that the purpose of Grant's preferential treatment of players and generals should not be so simple.

But still can't find the answer.

.........

After Mike left.

"General, Mike seems to be suspicious of something, do you want to?"

Speaker.

It was Grant's confidant, Willie, the commander of the guard brigade.

"Let him doubt."

Grant's eyes dimmed, "Mike is a talent, he will know how to choose."

The bad experience of his predecessor, Rutgers, undoubtedly sounded the alarm for Grant. He didn't want to repeat the mistakes of Rutgers, who didn't get anything and said nothing, and got into trouble.

Now that the alliance has handed over a million coalition troops to him, he must firmly control it.

Return it to the lords after the war?

dream!

Grant had planned a long time ago that once the coalition forces conquered Chang'an City, they would use Chang'an City as the foundation to establish themselves as king and become a powerful warlord on one side.

He doesn't want to be as stupid as Rogers, to be bullied by those lords.

Wouldn't it be nice to do it yourself?
It is precisely because of this intention that Grant has to bother to win over the generals of the players and pull everyone to do it together.

Anyway, it was all the money of the lords.

Don't feel bad! ! !
